History of the School
Langley Montessori School is an outgrowth of the Langley Montessori Children’s Centre which began in 1988 and is located in Langley City. Interest in having a kindergarten through grade seven program run as an Independent School, meant a school society with a Board of Directors was needed in order to meet the requirements of provincial funding. In addition to developing an elementary school program over the past ten years, a unique program to serve children who had special learning challenges was initiated. The West Coast Montessori Society and its Board of Directors took the initiative to find a permanent location for its successful elementary school program and restore a novel century facility at its current address. During the 2005-2006 school year, the West Coast Montessori Society and its Board of Directors consolidated its efforts to the current program and facility with plans to expand the adjacent property into an early learning centre. In July, 2007, the Early Learning Centre opened allowing Langley Montessori Children’s Centre to follow its own vision and governance while freeing up the West Coast Montessori Society to focus on infant to grade seven programs in Murrayville, at the historic five corners.
School Governance
Langley Montessori School is governed by the West Coast Montessori Society which selects a Board of Governors to oversee operations. Final authority for the Society is vested in its Board of Directors. They are responsible for setting the policies and vision implemented in the school through the staff and administration.
The School Board is held accountable by following established accounting principles and audits, meeting the requirements for the Independent School Branch of the Ministry of Education, working with the Fraser Health Authority and remaining committed to principles of Montessori education.
